Our role is to better manage procurement expenditure as part of the government’s deficit reduction and growth agenda. We will accomplish this through aggregating the procurement of common goods and services, enhancing the value of the Crown’s relationships with strategic suppliers and capability development (people, processes and tools).

Government Procurement Service is now part of the Crown Commercial Service. This brings together, as one organisation, Government Procurement Service, the commercial function of the Cabinet Office and common goods and services procurement and commercial management currently undertaken by departments.

Responsible for managing the relationship between Government and its strategic suppliers, leveraging buying power to deliver a better deal for taxpayers and to resolve any disputes swiftly. £800 million was saved in the first year of this agenda and substantial work is underway to achieve further savings and deliver longer term reforms.
